Delhi's Barapullah Phase III Corridor to Open September 29, Offering Signal-Free Route
Delhi's Barapullah Elevated Corridor Phase III, a 3.5-kilometre signal-free route connecting Mayur Vihar Phase I with Sarai Kale Khan, is set to open on September 29, 2026. The corridor will link with the existing Barapullah corridor, creating a nearly 9 km signal-free stretch towards AIIMS and South Delhi. Officials, including Public Works Minister Parvesh Verma, highlight that the corridor could reduce travel time from East Delhi and Noida to AIIMS to about 15 minutes, easing congestion and improving connectivity. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to inaugurate the project alongside Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
